Springs for the Medical Industry

Springs are essential to the function, safety, and performance of many medical devices, particularly in systems where precision, controlled force, and long-term reliability is required.

Pacemakers and Implantable Devices: Compression springs are vital to the operation of pacemakers, helping to carry electrical signals to the heart. These springs are manufactured using biocompatible, corrosion-resistant metals to reduce the risk of reactions or tissue rejection in the body.
Autoinjectors and Drug Delivery Systems: Springs are used to power injection systems, to make sure the dosage is correct and actuation is controlled. For applications such as these, it is critical that the springs are reliable and consistent.
Wearables and Monitoring Devices: Springs are used in applications like continuous glucose monitors, where they help maintain contact with the skin and make things comfortable over extended wear. These devices often rely on constant torque springs or compression springs for consistent pressure.

We supply a wide range of springs for medical applications, including compression, tension, and torsion springs. Our products are designed to meet strict medical standards, and we offer options in various sizes, materials, and tolerances to suit a broad range of devices and environments.

Pressings for Medical Applications

Metal pressings provide structural functionality, support complex mechanisms, and meet the demanding requirements of medical device performance and hygiene.

Surgical Instruments: Pressings are used in the construction of surgical tools and casings for medical instruments. They often help in ensuring a tight fit and reliable performance in intense environments like operating theatres.
Device Housings and Component Mounts: Medical equipment like imaging systems, autoinjectors, and diagnostic platforms rely on pressed components to secure electronic parts and shield sensitive circuits during use and sterilisation.
Material Safety and Durability: In line with medical hygiene and safety standards, our pressings can be manufactured using corrosion-resistant, biocompatible materials capable of withstanding sterilisation processes and long-term exposure to bodily fluids or cleaning agents.

Medical components need to be designed and manufactured with the highest quality in mind and via the latest processes and technology, as the whole sector depends on reliable products to aid patients and advance research. We provide a full range of bespoke pressings for medical purposes. To achieve the best results, we use advanced methods like laser cutting, wire forming, and surface finishing.

Frequently asked questions

What Springs and Pressings Are Used in the Medical Industry?

We have manufactured a range of different springs and pressings for medical purposes, here are just a few of the most common types:

Compression Springs: Injectors (including autoinjectors, pen injectors), blood-lancet devices, syringes, and inhalers/pump sprays all use compression springs in the daily operation of drug delivery devices.
Constant Torque Springs: These springs ensure steady attachment force in glucose-monitoring device applicators and automatic fall-detection systems.
Tension Springs: Tensions springs are found in surgical equipment, syringes, stretchers, ventilators, and surgical lights, which are all critical to the everyday operation of the medical industry.
Torsion Springs: These springs create rotational movement, and are utilised within hospital beds, wheelchair lifts, and in certain areas of surgical and diagnostic equipment where bending or twisting is required.
Gas Springs: As gas springs manufacturers, we supply gas springs for a range of different medical applications including; flow control valves, healthcare and physiotherapy beds, pressure regulators, patient trolley systems, positive pressure ventilators, CPAP machines, and robotic-assisted surgery.
Pressings and Stampings: Metal pressings form parts for injectors and diagnostic devices, in addition to bending parts in lancing units, hearing-protection mounts, and types of pump sprays.

Can You Provide Custom Solutions for the Medical Industry?

Yes. Whether you need standard stock springs or fully bespoke designs, our engineers can develop the right solution for your application. We factor various elements into our custom designs, such as environment considerations, tolerances, special surface finishes, and integration.

What Spring Materials are used in the Medical and Healthcare Sector?

The medical sector demands the use of surgical grade spring materials in many cases to avoid contamination or infection. Stainless steel and other alloys are typically used in this industry, but our experts will be able to guide you through the perfect metal for your needs.

How Do You Ensure Regulatory Compliance for Medical Springs and Pressings?

With our state-of-the-art production facility and dedicated equipment, we ensure that all our products are compliant with the industry they will end up. We use rigorous quality control processes, and we’re ISO 9001 certified, and we’re members of The Institute of Spring Technology, MMMA, Made in Britain, EcoVadis, and SBTI.

What Design Considerations are there for ordering Springs and Pressings for the Medical Sector?

We can guide you through exactly what you need to know for ordering medical sector components. Here just a few examples:

Material & Environment Compatibility

Use biocompatible, corrosion-resistant alloys that can tolerate repeated sterilisation, resist bodily fluids, disinfectants and cleaning agents. If adhering to set standards, make sure the materials selected comply with this.

Load & Fatigue

Medical springs can undergo millions of cycles, so it’s vital to select fatigue-resistant designs to guarantee consistent performance over the device’s intended lifespan.

Dimensions & Mounting Constraints

Many medical devices need springs with extremely tight tolerances. When ordering your springs, account for how the component will fit into its housing, and how it will integrate into an automated assembly.

End Configuration & Tolerances

Choose end types that provide stability and force consistency to ensure your springs perform reliably.

Surface Treatments

Additional surface treatments and plating can elevate corrosion resistance, which is critical for both external devices like inhalers and implantable components.
